Trust in ‘the Swedish model’: Exploring relational, institutional and personal trust in Swedish industrial relations
通过定性数据,研究瑞典劳资关系中的社会伙伴如何感知和体验信任,揭示人际信任通过正式和非正式渠道建立,并由制度信任和集体谈判传统稳定。
Trust is about being vulnerable to another party, confident that openness will not be exploited. Matters of trust in industrial relations are poorly researched, especially in the Swedish context. This study enhances our knowledge and understanding of trust in industrial relations by exploring how social partners in Sweden perceive and experience trust. Drawing on qualitative data, the study shows how interpersonal/interactional-based trust is established through formal and informal channels, is stabilised by institution-based trust and the long tradition of collective bargaining, as well as mutual recognition of differing perspectives. Trust places higher demands on good personal behaviour, emphasising integrity and benevolence.
